Stretch Natural Hair|(No Heat) Banding Method for Tight Curls

[@veggieviewer]

Your hair looks very pretty and healthy. When I was young, my grandmother (who was born in 1884) told me that a lot of women and girls would wash and condition their hair every Monday morning. Then they would stretch their hair by wrapping it tightly with narrow strips of cloth and leave it like that the entire week. They would unwrap it on Sunday morning and style it for church.

[@TyJalayahRobertson]

+Sonia Stovall Thank you!! And yeah haha it goes way back, it's very similar to this method, I think they call that one the threading method nowadays (not sure if it was called that back then also)

[@missydhaiti1506]

[@berlenskadesir6977]

You if just saved me😭😭 I have thick 4C hair and I was trying to put it in a side part but it wouldn't work I tried blow drying but that was to much heat when I get home from work I am definitely trying this because I'm tired of weave and wigs for a while

[@TyJalayahRobertson]

+Berlenska Desir lol Goodluck trying it out! I hope you'll get better results with it, if this doesn't stretch enough, try the threading method also

[@mrs.6546]

Berlenska Desir , I wonder if you used this banding method she showed, while 1st parting your hair like you want to, and then bobby pinning that part down and using some edging pomade or strong gel or something... well, maybe that would help you to create a defined part like you said u r wanting... I dunno if it will work, as I've never tried it myself, but I hope that helps you out some. Good luck sweetie! Please comment back after, and let us know how it turns out for ya, and what all you do to get that part; Im curious.

[@aminahsalinah8282]

Wow I never thought of that. I still have shrinkage when I do twist/braid outs and end up having to comb it after which takes out my hair and I was tempted to blow dry it but this looks like it works my hair coils up just like that wow thankyou so much

[@TyJalayahRobertson]

+aminah salinah Same! Braids/twist still give me a lot of shrinkage. Hopefully this method will work much better for you, and you're welcome! ☺️

Why is shrinkage a struggle? It’s a part of our hair.

I am overjoyed that I found this video - and not 5 years after it was recorded! I have never gotten definition with any technique I have tried. I cannot wait to do this later in the week. I am the 4C to beat all 4Cs. I live in high altitude and low humidity which does NOT help. Did you mention your moisturizers or leave-ins? Thank you!

I Always use to Love Doing the banding method. It Stretch it great.

[@riyahworld]

Lol yooo, I did this with yarn last year, just for fun & color, but I LOOOOVED how it was stretched & da puff was AMAZING!!! What cracked me up tho, is the fact that you double the band around ya neck & push it up too... I show ppl this all the time and I've *neeeeverr* seen anyone else do it! Haha. 😁

[@monie948]

Because of the Rona and not having access to my cosmetologist I have decided to cut the creamy crack out of my hair because don't do hair well it's not my forte.and it's a good thing to go back to my natural hair. I will still wear wigs and protective styles. that's one of the changes the rona has made in my life.that being said I'm looking up natural 4C hair care videos and I found you and I'm a new subscriber I love this video thank you so much.

[@TyJalayahRobertson]

Awww 😄 that is so amazing 🙌🏾 I love it! The Roma has caused a number of us to make some changes, all for the good❤️ I hope you e been enjoying your natural journey so far, keep at it! It can be challenging at some points throughout it but the journey is so worth it, you’ll love it!

[@KaniyaButterfly]

I tried this like last month but I used bigger bands and my hair took 3 days to dry 😭. I got so frustrated so I just went back to a coily puff because I wasn't happy with the results, it stretched my hair but not to its full length, plus I do have dryer and duller looking curls (not as shinny) so it wasn't really appealing to me. However you encouraged me to try again since my hair is a tad bit tighter than yours. Thanks ❤️

[@TyJalayahRobertson]

+Niya Marie 3 days 😳 oh no lol is your hair long? Maybe it takes longer for the full length of it to dry or it could possibly be from having more thickness/density also. Try to squeeze dry your hair as much as you can to to speed up dry time. Thanks for giving it a try though! If all fails (hopefully not lol) you can try a different stretch method to see if another method may work better for your hair! Thanks for letting me know your experience with this method, goodluck on your 2nd attempt. Stay patient! You'll find the perfect stretch/method soon ❤️
